Download or read book Hidden History of Exeter written by Barbara Rimkunas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wheelwright, a man too pure for the Puritans, founded Exeter in 1638. Resourceful, notorious and just plain unusual characters have populated the town ever since. Thinking inside the box, Albert and Lucy Tyler tried to ship themselves home to Exeter in a piano box after they ran out of funds on the West Coast. Albertus T. Dudley saved the town's founding document from the hands of William Randolph Hearst. Exeter has a paradoxical streak--it is an inland town with a working seaport, and it was both adamantly anti-abolition and home to the Free-Soil Party. Exeter Historical Society curator Barbara Rimkunas uncovers the lesser-known tidbits and gems hidden in the town's history.

Download or read book The Secret State written by Richard C. Thurlow and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1995-01-09 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of the secret activities of the British government in response to threats to the nation's well-being and stability during the twentieth century. It is based on intensive and widespread research in private and public archives and on documents many of which have only recently come to light or been made available. The dangers perceived by the state have been manifold and various, coming from within and from abroad. Anarchists, fascists, socialists, communists, the IRA, trades-unionists and animal activists as well as spies, terrorists and saboteurs have been the subject of undercover investigation, along with almost every large-scale movement from suffragettes to campaigners for peace and nuclear disarmament. The author describes the methods and people employed, and the mixed nature of their results. The British state has always seen itself as civil and liberal, but as Dr Thurlow shows it has sometimes been far from open. The government has had many weapons at its disposal, from public order acts, censorship, internment and proscription on the one hand, to covert operations, infiltration and manipulation on the other. Yet when examined in the light of new evidence, the activities of the state are fully comprehensible only in terms of those who comprised it. The author shows the tensions among the departments (between MI5, MI6, SIS and the Special Branch, for example), and the crucial part played by individuals whose motives were often far from what the government supposed them to be. This is an at times disturbing, at others almost comical, but always fascinating account. It throws light on the inmost workings of the state, as well as on the movements and people subject to investigation and action.
Download or read book Empire of Secrets written by Calder Walton and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned espionage historian offers “a gripping account of British intelligence during the last days of empire” (The Daily Telegraph). Drawing on a wealth of newly declassified records and hitherto overlooked personal papers, intelligence expert Calder Walton offers a compelling and authoritative history of Britain’s espionage activities after World War II. A major addition to intelligence literature, this is the first book to utilize records from the Foreign Office’s secret archive, which contains some of the darkest and most shameful secrets from the last days of Britain’s empire. Working clandestinely, MI5 operatives helped to prop up newly independent states across the globe against a ceaseless campaign of Communist subversion. Though the CIA is often assumed to be the principal actor against the Soviet Union through the Cold War, Britain plays a key role through its so-called “special relationship” with the United States. In Empire of Secrets, Walton sheds new light on everything from violent counterinsurgencies fought by British forces in the jungles of Malaya and Kenya, to urban warfare campaigns conducted in Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula. The stories here have chilling contemporary resonance, detailing the use and abuse of intelligence by governments that oversaw state-sanctioned terrorism, wartime rendition, and “enhanced” interrogation. “An important and highly original account of postwar British intelligence.” —The Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most original shows in the history of television, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a beloved cult hit built on the back of another cult phenomenon: the bad movie. The show's premise involved a man and some robots watching cheesy movies and cracking jokes. Over its 197 episodes, MST3K developed a passionate fan base that took it from a local UHF show in Hopkins, Minnesota, to a major motion picture. This is the story of MST3K from the beginning to the end. Twelve of the episodes are covered, giving an in-depth look at the show, its ethos and its comedic style. The films screened in these episodes are discussed critically, as are the episodes themselves.
Download or read book The Plague Merchants written by R. Darryl Fisher and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plague Merchants describes the horrifying feasibility of a genetically engineered virus, formed from AIDS and influenza, that creates a doomsday weapon. If unleashed in a crowded subway, the resulting plague can sweep across the country, spread by airborne contagion, annihilating every other person. The creator of this weapon of mass destruction is the world-renowned and enigmatic molecular biologist Michelle Exeter, cloistered in a testing facility of the Neogenics biotechnology company in the Texas Hill Country. Her clandestine biological-weapons research is underwritten by covert Defense Department funds funneled through United States Senator Prentiss Standridge and company CEO Charles Dunn. A delirious Hispanic, found wandering the roadside near the research laboratory, is rescued by two policemen. His death in the local ER from fulminant lung hemorrhage mystifies physician Hector Morales, and he solicits the aid of Dr. Betty Freeman, a Neogenics director, in identifying the cause of death. Within 72 hours one of the policemen exposed to the Hispanic dies a similar death, asphyxiating from hemorrhage into his lungs, confirming its infectiousness. When the scientific director of the company discovers the scope of viral-weapons production he is brutally silenced, his death made to appear a suicide. Then Chairman of the board, Nobel laureate Hadley Thorne, promptly disappears after his visit to the Hill Country research laboratory to shut down the illicit viral-weapons program. Dr. Freeman tenaciously pursues the mystery of these deaths and disappearances, suffering the disbelief of her family and police when she accuses Dr. Michelle Exeter of developing a viral-warfare weapon. Dr. Exeter, realizing that soon her life's work will be exposed by Betty Freeman and that she will be disarmed by the authorities, rushes to release her deadly recombinant virus in retribution for the Gulf-War attack by the United States that killed her unborn child and her mother. Only Betty Freeman can prevent the impending viral epidemic that would wipe out half the United States as the authorities refuse to believe her Cassandra warnings. In a race against the clock, Betty chases Michelle and her engineer father, Abdel Azziz, from Texas to Washington, DC where Michelle plans to release her deadly air-borne virus at the Washington Mall during the July 4th festivities. In a standoff of biblical proportions, Betty confronts Michelle in the Metrorail-subway station beneath the crowded Mall.
